Taking place over 2 consecutive Wednesdays, this course is aimed at technology and digital start-ups & SMEs who want to explore a world of fabrication, hardware, packaging and anything phsyical linked to your technology.

You'll work on two projects that will give you a hands-on intro to hardware, fabrication, coding and 3D printing.

Once you've completed the 2 days, you'll have a strong understanding of how you can incorporate these tools and techniques to bring your technology into the physical world, and how you can further use the Eagle Lab to support you in this.

Only 8 spaces are available for this course. Please note attendance is required on both days.

What you'll do:

Project 1: GameFace

Program a game, design a hand-held device (to house a BBC micro:bit), and produce the housing on 3D printers or laser cutters.

Attendees will get an overview of using Python, and some 2D/3D design experience.

Project 2: Twitter Indicator

Build a Twitter-responsive light-up device, utilising the BBC micro:bit, laser cutter, and Node-RED. The outcome is a small device that lights up when particular hashtags or handles are mentioned on Twitter.

Attendees will be introduced to concepts of IoT, APIs, modular programming environments, and 2D design
